I have what seems to be a simple question to put on the table to Christian husbands and wives, and I am very curious what some of the answers may be. You may be one of those that know the textbook answer to this question, but in your heart is it really what you believe and practice? Do you really believe that in the scope of your marriage that you can sin in a way that does not affect your family? If you don’t understand what I am asking then let me try another approach.

The reason so many have such a hard time with following Christ is quite simple. Following Christ is not a hostage negotiation nor is it a meeting of demanded conditions. There is no room for convenience or compromise. Following Christ isn't about a brief meeting of the minds. To follow Christ is a complete and unconditional surrender of everything! (Mark 8:34)

I have a topic for Christian husbands to ponder regarding the way they demonstrate how much they value their wife. According to Encarta, value is the worth, importance, or usefulness of something to somebody. To a scuba diver an oxygen tank may hold irreplaceable value. If you are a programmer then a computer may hold great value to your efforts, but what about a husband?
